Recipes For a Dinner Party Inspired by Hotel Portofino
We are loving the drama, mystery, and romance of Hotel Portofino, a beautiful series about a British family who run a seaside hotel on the Italian Riviera in the 1920s. It has glamour, intrigue, strife, scheming, and charm. Now in its third season, we hunger for each episode’s plot twists featuring the hotel’s guests and staff! Did we say hunger? Yeah we did. We’ve pulled together a collection of recipes that highlight the flavors of the Liguria region and the foods served up at Hotel Portofino. You guessed it, we even have a recipe for melanzane alla parmigiana (eggplant parmesan, as many English speakers know it) that Betty the cook could have used! Buon appetito, amici miei!
